nothinrunslkeadeere Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I am new to geocaching and was just wondering if there is a certain way to communicate with other geocachers over the radio (i.e. finding out if others are in the area)? I know to use channel 2. I'm just looking to see if there are any special methods to communication. Edited March 20, 2009 by nothinrunslkeadeere Quote Link to comment
+huskerrich2000 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I know some gps will allow you to know where other geocacher are, the rhino radios but I don't carry anything but a cell phone, so I either stumble upon a geocacher, or they stumble upon me Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 In my experience with FRS radios, you'll probably see your fellow cachers before they are in radio range. (I exaggerate a little, but realistically less than half a mile is the only usable range on them in my area, considering tree cover, terrain, and such.) Quote Link to comment
+DatCrazyMongoose Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Sorry to dredge up old topics, but I'm curious about this alleged "geocaching" channel. Is it channel 2? Is there a subchannel used? Does anyone bother doing this (negative replies not necessary, thanks). I wouldn't mind chatting up some local cachers while out hunting. Perhaps even a meet and greet. EDIT: Nevermind. I found a thread here http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...=124289&hl= further into my search results. Edited April 12, 2009 by DatCrazyMongoose Quote Link to comment
